Ichamama

When our director of coffee Adam drops a pow on his cupping form, you know you have a good coffee on your hands. Our Ichamama Kenya is super juicy, elegantly sweet, and surprisingly floral for a Kenya coffee. Tasting notes include cherry bubblegum, wildflower honey, cocoa, lavender, and Vanilla Coke. It’s a quintessential Kenya with a floral pop that comes highly recommend from the JBC cupping team.

This coffee is sourced from 1126 family owned farms organized around the Ichamama Factory (wet mill) within the Nyeri growing region along the fertile foothills of the Aberdare mountain range. The Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society manages the Ichamama Factory. The cooperative processes coffee from farmers who generally have half acre plots averaging 250 coffee trees shaded with banana, gravelia, and macadamia trees.

Fun fact: our director of coffee Adam was recently in Kenya on a buying trip and visited the Ichamama Factory. The photos on this page are from his visit.
